Making its debut last year, the Shine A Light installation returns this year at The Promontory. It showcases 60 light beams in a circular formation to represent strength in diversity during the pandemic. It also shines the light on frontline workers, ground-up groups, as well as charities meeting needs within local communities during these tough times.
From now till Dec 28, the installation will light up in a different colour each week to represent a different cause. And from Dec 29 to 31, it’ll glow in magenta to depict the harmonious spirit of Singapore Together, as well as celebrate partnerships forged between Singaporeans to create a caring, just and equal society.
Local philanthropic organisation The Majurity Trust has also hopped on board this year and embarked on a fundraising campaign to rally donors, corporates, and private individuals, to ‘adopt’ 60 light beams to symbolically brighten up the lives of those amongst us who are in need. The funds will go towards five grants that support various vulnerable communities in Singapore, such as youths struggling with mental health issues, people living with dementia and their caregivers, and at-risk families.
